Jackson is a Partner at Unbounded Enterprise, a venture/hedge fund among the very first to be investing exclusively in the BSV ecosystem.
As a former professional poker player/educator, a software developer, and a professional jazz pianist, Jackson is the beneficiary of a rather non-traditional background for a professional investor. Had Jackson, and by extension Unbounded Enterprise, come from a background similar to his investing peers, he likely would have stuck with the Crypto consensus and missed the potential of BSV as so many others have.
As a poker player and as a jazz musician, Jackson was forced to learn how to think beyond the readily available resources to establish a unique point of view to stay a step ahead of his peers. With this skill set, the risk management abilities requisite of any professional poker player, and strong computer science fundamentals, Jackson emerged well prepared to take on the challenge of investing in the rapidly changing world of Bitcoin investing with its unbounded opportunity and misinformation pitfalls.
Jackson looks forward to continuing to learn about Bitcoin and helping to steer Unbounded Enterprise into a premier position in the future built on Bitcoin.
